“As long as justice is postponed we always stand on the verge of these darker nights of social disruption”...so said Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech on March 14, 1968, just three weeks before he was assassinated.

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." Galatians 6:7﻿

440000 IMMIGRANTS PER YEAR DETAINED IN OVER 200 HORRIFIC US I.C.E. PRISONS: "The Toxic System of Immigrant Prisons" - BRAVE NEW FILMS, TRAILER

Film coming soon...

Immigrant Detention is WRONG.

Thousands are locked up and ignored by the criminal justice system and society at large. Many are living in inhumane conditions while in limbo and awaiting some type of justice from the outside. Not surprisingly, the same companies profiting off inmates in our county, state, and federal prisons are reaping astonishingly huge profits from detaining immigrants as well. We are nearly finished with our film and expect to share these unheard stories with you as soon as possible.

Each year, the U.S. government locks up roughly 440,000 immigrants in over 200 immigrant prisons. These prisons have grown into a highly privatized, lucrative and abusive industry that profits off misery. We're doing everything we can to expose the abuses of the deportation industrial complex. In our new film we explore conditions inside these prisons, exposing substandard medical care, widespread physical and sexual abuse, virtual slave labor working conditions and more. These abuses happen behind closed doors with little to no oversight. Watch now and share with friends.Opt-in To Receive our Upcoming Film on Immigrant Prisons: http://bit.ly/2y5Xa32

Immigrant prisons are overseen by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, a division of the Department of Homeland Security. Since ICE was created in 2003, there have been 177 confirmed deaths in these prisons. In our new film, we explore conditions inside these prisons, exposing substandard medical care, widespread physical and sexual abuse, virtual slave labor working conditions and more. These abuses happen behind closed doors with little to no oversight. Watch now and share with friends. #CloseImmigrantPrisons

ABOUT BRAVE NEW FILMSRobert Greenwald and Brave New Films are at the forefront of the fight to create a just America. Using new media and internet video campaigns, Brave New Films has created a quick-strike capability that informs the public, challenges corporate media with the truth, and motivates people to take action on social issues nationwide. Brave New Films’ investigative films have scrutinized the impact of U.S. drone strikes; the prosecution if whistleblowers; and Wal Mart’s corporate practices.

The detention of migrants has become a multi-billion dollar industry in which immigrants are sold to the highest bidder and traded like mere products. The Corrections Corporation of America, The Geo Group, and the Management and Training Corporation run over 200 facilities all over the nation. These facilities offer over 150,000 bed spaces and rake in a total profit of close to five billion dollars per year. The fact that these detention centers get paid for the number of people that are in the center per night offers, therefore, no incentive to speed up the legal processes and let the detainees leave the facility.
